We improve lives The IDB Group is a community of diverse, versatile, and passionate people who come together on a journey to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our people find purpose and do what they love in an inclusive, collaborative, and rewarding environment. About this position We are looking for an energetic, collaborative, and highly motivated Financial Specialist with significant subnational lending expertise to work alongside our technical experts to implement IDB's new Sub-Sovereign Finance Program (SFP). The SFP is a 5-year pilot program to extend investment loans and guarantees to sub-sovereign eligible entities - including municipalities, states and provinces - without a sovereign guarantee. IDB has a strong presence in the region, lending on average USD 2billion annually, through its sovereign guaranteed window, to support subnational governments in a variety of sectors. The SFP will introduce a new type of lending, enabling IDB to lend to creditworthy subnational entities to finance bankable projects without a sovereign guaranty. For many cities and other subnational entities, loans under the SFP will be the first time they are borrowing on a commercial basis. Loans extended under the SFP are not designed to compete with other sources of financing; rather these loans will be designed to act as a demonstration effect to other lenders and to catalyze private sector financing. Thus, IDB may lend under the SFP alongside other lenders to fill a funding gap. Critical to these loans will be the borrower's ability to generate new revenue streams or demonstrate real cost savings to support debt repayment. To ensure loans are bankable, SFP loans will include a variety of measures, including new revenue sources or capturing cost savings. Measures such as land value capture, fiscal reform or affordable fees and tariffs will be critical to loans proposed under the SFP.

Portfolio Monitoring and Reporting - As requested by the Chief or other senior staff, undertake assigned tasks relating to the implementation and monitoring of projects under the SFP, which the Specialist is assigned to as part of the project team, including compliance with project agreements and IDB procedures relating to the disbursement, progress of implementation as well as the financial performance of the client and project, assessing evolving risk factors and monitoring and assessing covenant compliance. - Timely prepare draft monitoring reports and include recommendations for corrective actions, where required. - Assist with the implementation and monitoring of Technical cooperation (TC) assignments, including communication with TC client, monitoring of TC fund usage, preparation and filing of relevant TC progress and completion reports to meet donor report requirements. - Other responsibilities, designed to allow the Specialist to progressively undertake more complex tasks and build experience and expertise.

Achieving these growth and impact ambitions at scale requires a different approach to business development, deal sourcing, and client support that relies on 1) a broader product offering to engage earlier in the project cycle and secure opportunities; 2) a greater focus on preparing clients in nascent markets and sectors for investment; 3) a greater focus on value addition and risk management of portfolio investment clients to enhance their performance; and 4) a longer time horizon and a more patient, longer-term perspective.

IFCa member of the World Bank Groupis the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing countries. In fiscal year 2023, IFC committed a record $43.7 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity as economies grapple with the impacts of global compounding crises. For more information, visit www.ifc.org. The IFC 3.0 strategy aims to stimulate more investment activity across emerging markets, especially in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict affected States (FCS). This strategy aims to create new opportunities for private investments in riskier markets and sectors by proactively working "upstream" to create, deepen, and expand markets and design and develop potential investment projects. Achieving these growth and impact ambitions at scale requires a different approach to business development, deal sourcing, and client support that relies on 1) a broader product offering to engage earlier in the project cycle and secure opportunities; 2) a greater focus on preparing clients in nascent markets and sectors for investment; 3) a greater focus on value addition and risk management of portfolio investment clients to enhance their performance; and 4) a longer time horizon and a more patient, longer-term perspective. To support this strategy, IFC is seeking an Investment Officer to be based in Baghdad, Iraq. The selected candidate will focus on business development, origination, execution, and portfolio management in the Manufacturing, Agribusiness & Services (MAS) sectors. This role requires an experienced investment professional with strong relationship management skills and a deep understanding of private sector development in Iraq.
